Hi Carlos/Matt,

Another thing to think about is the documentation of how/why the
script/tool was run, sometimes the notes are more valuable than the results.

For example in the case where a vendor fails a pluggable inter-op due to
a bug, that could easily be documented in the notes on the testing, if
there is a workaround, that could also be mentioned.

In the same example, as an end users I would like to know what cables to
order and if the <insert vendor here> cables don't work with switch x,
knowing that allows me to order cables that do work.
